TSN Broadcaster: "Leafs Will Lose First Round"

TSN broadcaster, Craig Button does not believe the Toronto Maple Leafs has what it takes. They are not matched up against the Boston Bruins, but he still believes the Maple Leafs will face a first round playoff exit.

Button feels quite strongly about this perspective on the Maple Leafs. If the players and coaches do not invest their time going over the fine details of the game, the Columbus Blue Jackets will "walk right over them."

"Columbus contests every puck, they contest every square inch of ice, they don't beat themselves, and they're excellent defensively."

Button's colleague and Leafs' insider, Mark Masters, also believes that Fredrik Andersen could face adversity in this tournament. He is described as a 'slow starter' and needs to warm up with a few games before he's able to perform to his highest potential. Unfortunately, he doesn't have this opportunity this time around.

How do you think the Maple Leafs will perform against the Blue Jackets?
